QUESTION 172
You work as a Network Administrator at ABC.com.
The network includes a System Center 2012 infrastructure.
System Center 2012 – Service Manager is used by the help desk department to track any problems reported with network devices, servers or computers.
You want to be notified every time a new incident that pertains to a server problem is opened.
You open the System Center 2012 Service Manager Console.
What should you do next?

A.    You should configure an announcement.
B.    You should configure a subscription.
C.    You should configure a template.
D.    You should configure a connector.

Answer: C
Explanation:
Although you will need a subscription to receive the messages, you need a template first (to satisfy the requirement –You want to be notified every time a new incident that pertains to a server problem is opened” )
When you create a template, you can specify a target class.
The target class is used to target certain types of incidents for notifications.

QUESTION 176
Your company has a datacenter in Los Angeles.
The datacenter contains a private cloud that is managed by a System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) infrastructure.
The infrastructure contains two management servers and 10 Hyper-V hosts.
You configure VMM to use an update server and to synchronize the updates by using a windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server named WSUS1.
You attempt to verify compliance with the Sample Baseline for Security Updates.
You view the console as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

You need to ensure that you can verify compliance for all of the Hyper-V hosts.
What should you modify?

A.    the update classifications of the update server
B.    the Assignment Scope of the baseline
C.    the default configuration provider
D.    the Network settings of the All Hosts host group

Answer: B
Explanation:
In the VMM console, open the Fabric workspace.
On the Home tab, in the Add group, click Add Resources, and then click Update Server.
The Add Windows Server Update Services Server dialog box opens.
In Computer name, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the WSUS server (for example, VMMServer01.contoso.com).Specify which TCP/IP port that the WSUS website listens on for connections (for example, port 8530).
Enter credentials for connecting to the WSUS server.
The account must have administrator rights on the WSUS server.
If necessary, select the Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to communicate with the WSUS server and client’s check box.
Click Add.
The WSUS server will be added to VMM, followed by initial synchronization of the updates catalog. Depending on how many update classifications and products you chose when you installed the WSUS server, this operation can take a long time, depending on such factors as network traffic and the load on the WSUS server.
To find out the status of the operation, monitor the status of the Add Update Server and Synchronize Update Server jobs in the Jobs window or in the Jobs workspace.
Note
After you enable update management in VMM, you should manage the WSUS server only through VMM, unless you are using a WSUS server in a Configuration Manager environment.
To verify that the WSUS server was added to VMM successfully:
In the Fabric workspace, on the Fabric pane, expand Servers, and click Update Server.
The results pane should display the WSUS server.
In the Library workspace, on the Library pane, expand Update Catalog and Baselines, and then click Update Catalog. The results pane should display the updates that were downloaded during WSUS synchronization.

QUESTION 178
Your company has a datacenter in Los Angeles that contains a private cloud.
The private cloud is managed by using a System Center 2012 Operations Manager infrastructure.
You plan to create a distributed application named Appl.
You need to ensure that a folder for App1 is available from the Monitoring workspace in the Operations Manager console.
What should you do?

A.    Run the Protect-SCOMManagementPack cmdlet.
B.    Save App1 in the Default Management Pack.
C.    Run the Import-SCOMManagementPack cmdlet.
D.    Save App1 as a new management pack.

Answer: D
Explanation:
The Default Management Pack file contains common elements such as views at the top level of the Monitoring workspace. This is an unsealed management pack file so that you can create views and folders at this level. It should not be used for any other purpose.
For creating elements such as monitors and rules, create a new management pack file.
Selecting a Management Pack File
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457560.aspx
The Default management pack that ships with OpsMgr 2007 is used to store very specific information for the management group. It is a widely known best practice to NOT write any custom rules, monitors, groups, views, or overrides to this MP. Even customers who know this – and try to enforce this across their organizations…. will still inadvertently get junk in their default MP…. they will save things here by accident, or by granting access to advanced operators who aren’t educated on this topic.
The main problem with doing so…. is that we will build a dependency for this MP on any MP it references…. and therefore we wont ever be able to delete those management packs, until we clean this Default MP up, and start enforcing best practices.

QUESTION 179
Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 Operations Manager infrastructure.
From Operations Manager, you create a group named Group1.
You add multiple servers to Group1.
You have an Active Directory group named Group2.
You configure a dashboard for the users in Group2 to manage the client computers in Group1. You need to ensure that the users in Group2 can achieve the following tasks:
– View open critical alerts generated by Group1.
– Identify whether a monitor generated an alert.
Which object should you add to the dashboard?

A.    a state widget
B.    an alert widget
C.    an event view
D.    a state view
E.    an alert view

Answer: B
Explanation:
Adding an alert widget to a dashboard
Step 1: In an empty dashboard cell, click on the “Click to add widget” link. This opens the New Dashboard and Widget Wizard.
Step 2: Now you are presented with a selection of the available widgets. Select Alert Widgets and then click Next.
Step 3: Once you give your widget a name and a description, you can choose a group or object for which to display alerts. The ability to select between “Groups” and “Groups and objects” allows you to change the scope of objects for which you will receive alerts. If you only want to target a certain object within a group or class, the
“Groups and objects” option allows you to do so, while the “Groups” option enables you to view alerts for all objects within the group you choose.
Step 4: Next you can specify the criteria for the alerts you will receive.
You may choose the Severity, Priority, and Resolution State of the alerts.
For example, I will receive alerts for warnings and information of all priority, and in either the new or closed state.
Step 5: Lastly, select the columns to display for each alert.
You can also decide how the alerts are sorted by default as well as how they are grouped.
One great addition to the alert widget that is not present in the alert view is the addition of the “Is Monitor Alert” column. This column allows you to see whether the alert was generated by monitor rather than a rule. In my example, I will group alerts by “Is Monitor Alert” and sort by “Last Modified”.
And there you have it. We’ve configured a dashboard with a powerful alert widget. It is a great way to quickly view the alerts you care about organized in the way you want. If you aren’t satisfied with your configuration or if your needs change, you can always click the button which gives you the option to reconfigure, personalize, or remove your widget. Reconfiguring a widget opens a wizard with your previously chosen widget configuration and allows you to change
all of options to keep up to date with your needs. Here you can change everything from the groups or objects targeted, to the name of the widget.
Personalizing a widget allows you to change the display options for that widget. Here you can change which columns are displayed and how your alerts are grouped and sorted. This allows you to view the alerts within a context that is most appropriate to you, but without having to worry about the primary configuration details.

QUESTION 180
You deploy System Center 2012 Operations Manager.
You create two unsealed management packs named MP1 and MP2.
You create an override for MP1.
You create a group in MP2.
You need to apply the override for MP1 to the group in MP2.
What should you do before you apply the override?

A.    Create a new class in MP2.
B.    Seal MP1.
C.    Seal MP2.
D.    Create a new class in MP1.

Answer: C
Explanation:
When you create a group, you save it to an unsealed management pack. However, an element in an unsealed management pack, such as a group, cannot reference an element in a different unsealed management pack, such as an override or a view. If you are going to use a group to target an override or scope a view, you must either save the group to the same unsealed management pack as the override or view, or you must seal the management pack that contains the group. If you save the group to the same unsealed management pack as the override or view, you can only use that group for overrides and views that are also contained in that unsealed management pack. If you seal the management pack that contains the group, you can reference that group from other unsealed management packs. However, you cannot easily change any group settings in the sealed management pack or add new groups to the sealed management pack.
